Quick Undo/Redo

This one is pretty straight forward and makes undo-ing a mistake so much easier. Just simply tap two fingers on the screen to UNDO. Similarly, tapping on the screen using three fingers will REDO what you just undid!

Cut/Copy/Paste

To access the cut, copy, paste menu, use three fingers and swipe down on the canvas. This makes it simple to cut/copy/paste a certain piece of the current layer to add to another layer or another place on the canvas.

Erase a Layer

Decide you don’t like anything you just did on a layer? Take three fingers and swipe across the canvas in a “Z” motion to erase it all!

Color Fill

Want to fill in a section of your piece with a different color? Or just decide that you want to change colors on one part of your lettering? Choose the color you want, and drag/drop the color circle onto the piece you want to recolor.

Merge Layers

If you are working on a multi-layered piece and want to merge several layers together it’s pretty easy! Merge all of the layers by pinching them together in the layer menu.
